Wayne Horvitz: Sweeter Than The Day

by Glenn Astarita
Whether indulging in free jazz, grunge style jazz-rock, or swinging mainstream jazz, keyboardist Wayne Horvitz is noted for his rather stylistic compositional faculties. The artist excels when churning out lushly seductive melodic phrases, as evidenced on his inaugural 2000 recording for the Songlines record label, American Bandstand (subsequently re-titled Forever ). With his ...
Misha Mengelberg Quartet: Four In One

by Mark Corroto
Most outings between drummer Han Bennink and pianist Misha Mengelberg leave listeners wondering just when the proverbial 'kitchen sink' will be tossed-in.

As a vocalist and composer the ...
Theo Bleckmann: Origami

by AAJ Staff
Jazz needs more vocalists like Theo Bleckmann. Bleckmann skirts the well-worn path of the standards repertoire, preferring instead to stick with original or group compositions and pieces off the beaten track.

Ryan Haines: To the Sky
by Jack Bowers
Ryan Haines, who has spent the better part of his musical career playing trombone in a number of U.S. Air Force Jazz ensembles, pilots a well–equipped big band into the stratosphere on To the Sky, his high–flying “civilian” debut on Sea Breeze Records. Haines wrote eight of the ten numbers on the album, which together comprise ...
